Ouch!!    Yes indeed, definitely go back to shaving while on tx, Jeri, and it`s best to avoid anything that might be harsh on your skin.   I do remember though that my body hair stopped growing after a while when I was doing tx so you might not need to shave very often.

All best, Jill

I learned a hard lesson today. I know my skin is different now that I am on treatment, but geez. I put my normal hair depilatory on today and within 90 seconds it began burning. It burned and blistered me. Guess I'll stick to shaving. Anyone else have skin sensitivity?
